Are you looking to buy a used one or to find out who makes new ones? JEMCO makes new ones, and I believe LRD has made a couple but those may have been one-offs. BDT will make you one and it will be beautiful but major $$$$$.

I know NWrider was selling alot of parts for the 86 t3. When I bought some parts from him he did have several pipes too, Awnser, Jemco, FMF and a few others.... Send him a PM but be prepaired to open your wallet the 86 parts can get spendy.

Just curious, what do you mean by "the most power". Pipes are designed to make peak/max power in different rpm ranges.
1. TRAIL PIPE = Bottom end power.
2. MX PIPE = Mid range power.
3. ROAD RACE PIPE = Top end power.
These pipes should also be matched to the porting style of the cylinder. A custom pipe might best serve your needs.
If you want something temporary until you get a pipe and you are running the stock silencer, you can simply remove it and install a straight through one if you don't need a spark arrestor. It will run much better. We spent a ton of time test riding and dyno testing several different pipes for the 86 model and I can assure you that you may install an aftermarket pipe and not be as happy with it as the stock pipe. Different is not always better.
It’s kinda hard to make a Tecate or ANY Honda run much better than this.
The KAWASAKI Tecate…the most power and fastest 3 wheeler in the universe!

Looking a mid-top end pipe. It's has a big bore so I have some bottom.

Ok, call me stupid, how did you put a big bore on an aluminum nikasil cylinder with a power valve?
Ok Barn...you're stupid!
What size is it?
You are likely better off with a custom pipe because the existing aftermarket pipes are designed for 250 cc's. They will work on it but will not be the best match. Even custom pipes are rarely ideal unless they build then test several variations to find the best one.
At Kawi, it finally came down to two two different pipes. one was the current, mid range pipe and the other was more of a top end pipe and the dyno showed more hp with the top end pipe so all the engineers figured that is the one i would pick. Well when they were actually tested in the dirt and not on the dyno, the current y3 pipe performed better overall so that is what i went with. the other pipe did have more top end and peak rpm but the power deliver was not as smooth and had less mid and was more like a light switch.
I also tested pipes for my friends Harry Klemm and Dave Miller aka DG and FMF, and they too gave me more than just one style to test.
I guess what I'm getting at or trying to say is that even if you spend $600.00 on a custom pipe, it might not be as good as it possibly can and you might be disappointed. It's really kinda of a bummer but pipes definitely are rocket science and it takes some trial and error to get it right but unfortunately, that is done with your money, not the pipe builders, lol.
None of the aftermarket pipes I'm aware of are geared towards producing many more peak rpm's so they might not fit your bill anyway.
Also, there is another thing that few people are aware of which doesn't really apply to you, it's just some trivia. Those bikes have rev limiters, and the bike in stock form, will hit it if you try hard. Well there are several people that put on these fancy high hp pipes and do all this whazoo porting and lock the power valves open and say it has so much more top end rpm. Well it doesn't because they still never hit the rev limiter.

+10 for LED custom pipes. Mine is built for Mid to Top to complement my motor he built for me. Arlan does awesome work.

You will have to call JEMCO if you want to talk to John. I believe the "White Brothers" on ebay is a white brothers silencer and a ??? headpipe.

I spoke to LED today. They would need my bike there and its crazy $ for them to do it. I'm not going with that idea.

My 250r pipe was in the $450 range with triple plate chrome. Not bad for a custom handmade pipe IMO..
